Strong tempo with Keiai Antares, T M Daitaka and A Shin Sturm leading the way. A SHIN STURM (4) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on May 30 over 1400m when he got home by 0.8 lengths. In great form and can go on with it. KEIAI ANTARES (2) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.3 lengths at this track. Yet to miss the frame in eight starts over this course and distance. Manato Hida who has eight wins when partnering stays on. Key runner. T M DAITAKA (7) started at $3.90 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh at this track over 1400m. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. FUKUNO BURJ (8) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent form.
